A monoline, condensed sans with tall proportions and generous vertical emphasis. Curves are smoothly squared-off, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel, while terminals remain clean and undecorated. The stroke is consistently thin with even rhythm, and the overall spacing reads open despite the narrow set width. Numerals and capitals follow the same streamlined geometry, producing a crisp, lightly engineered texture in lines of text.
Well suited to headlines, titling, and large-size editorial display where a light, contemporary presence is desired. It can work effectively for branding, packaging, and UI/wayfinding accents when used with sufficient size and contrast. In longer passages, it favors spacious layouts and moderate line lengths to preserve clarity.
The tone is quiet and refined, with a modern, architectural clarity. Its slender forms and soft-cornered geometry feel polished and understated rather than expressive or playful. The result is a cool, contemporary voice that suggests precision and restraint.
Designed to deliver a sleek, space-saving sans with a softly geometric construction. The intent appears to balance strict vertical economy with friendly, rounded-rectangle curves, creating a modern display face that stays controlled and uncluttered.
Distinctive superellipse-like rounding is especially noticeable in rounded letters and in the figures, which keep a smooth, continuous outline rather than sharp corners. The condensed build and thin stroke make the type feel best when given ample size and breathing room, where its clean outlines and tall rhythm are most apparent.
